    We should not have to jump through hoops to prove black people shouldn't be shot by police during routine traffic stops.

        what happened was wrong but why don't you also come out when police white or black or brown get shot down by bad guys?

        because we don't have to defend police lives. The law does. The law does not defend civilians from violent police.

        a woman shouldn't have to broadcast an interaction with a cop live online b/c she fears she won't be able to tell about it later

        Forced to remain calm is not calm. Calm is a feeling of no worries. I can guarantee you she'd be cracked inside👍🏻

        you're the problem. Until you realize that we're all the same, BLM will remain a racist, anti-white movement.
